April 2016

President’s Message

Please accept my personal apology for the
delay in your receiving the April Jersey Late Great Newsletter. The blame lies
solely with me.

Congratulations on being a member of the Jersey Late Greats Car Club! You are
part of a family of fellow car enthusiasts who have some of the best examples
of the 1958-1972 Chevrolet full size cars and in particular, the Impala, which
made Chevrolet the King of Detroit. As a member, you have access to many functions
and services. Our Tech Reps lists member with expertise in particular years.
You have Verne Frantz who is known nationwide for 1962 and the 409 engine knowledge.
Don Boch for 1965- 1972. He is also known nationwide. The Jersey Late Greats
is one of the largest and most active chapters in the National Impala Association.
While your membership dues keep us going, it is you, we need at each meeting,
as each member makes it a more diversified group. We are trying to give you
what you asked for. So far this year, we had a tech session on A/C presented
by Tom Merring and to change the pace, Joe DiNoia presented a session on generators
at the Jersey Diner. Coming up is an club outing at the Englishtown Swap Meet
and Car Show on April 17th. Contact Mike Berry to register.

Well it is technically spring, but you would not know it by the weather. I am
sure you are all getting your cars out of winter hibernation. We have some great
events planned for you and your car.

This year we will not be having a picnic, we will be having a day at Joe DiNoia’s
shop on Sunday, May 15th at 12:00 noon. More details are forthcoming.

Many of you haven’t been to a meeting for years, so come out to one of these
events and meet fellow members and bring a friend, member or not. Remember that
our membership is down, so please let other car guys know about us. Increasing
our membership is one of my goals this year. For those of you attending the
banquet, I will see you on Saturday and if not then, I look forward to seeing
you at one of our next events.
